12 Nov 19 Comment You found a pair of animals with a pair of their reflections...so you doubled the assigned subject! I think that's first for this group! It is too bad that the cheetah in the corner got cut off a little. I think when I cropped your image, it doesn't seem to matter so much. I also added more contrast to the image to make the spots stand out more (I think, anyway!). Nov 25th
12 Nov 19 Reply I really like what Ally did to the cheetah in the corner. Now that face with its beady eyes stands out. Nov 25th
12 Nov 19 Comment What an excellent use of that filter! I think we all want to try that filter now! It's amazing that the horses still look like rather realistic horses even with the very artistic lines of the Fractalius filter. Whenever I've used it, my image turned into a mess! You did a fantastic job! Nov 25th
12 Nov 19 Reply Wow! Nov 25th
12 Nov 19 Comment So interesting to see 2 differing views of their "faces"! The bird on the left is so sharp that I can see all its details. I've heard of this kind of bird but not seen one. The birds are gorgeous, and it seems ironic that they like being in such unappealing (to me) water! Nov 25th
12 Nov 19 Comment I love the way the purple color pops out at me! So vivid! I think I might have moved the chairs close to each other before photographing them so that nothing was in front of them. Nov 25th
12 Nov 19 Reply I like this horizontal view because the mushrooms and stems seem almost animated. Nov 25th
12 Nov 19 Reply I like Kerstin's image better than mine, because now the berries really, really show up well! Nov 25th
12 Nov 19 Comment I applaud your project of hunting for a pair of... in a park! Not an easy task! Your cropping shows off the pretty red color of the berries. If I had a 400mm lens, I would have stepped back and shot the berries as a telephoto shot. The sunlit daytime lighting has deep shadows and very bright areas. When I shoot like this, I darken whatever I can around the main subject to help it not get lost in the big scene. And I brighten the shadows in my main subject. The image is, of course, no longer "as found" in person but looks less like a snapshot. See my example photo. Nov 6th
12 Nov 19 Comment I find these mushrooms to be so cute because of the way they're positioned. Fun composition. The frame is very complimentary. If this were my picture, I'd darken all the lighter areas in the background and a little bit on the left vertical log bark. I do that with most of my photos by using the adjustment brush in either Photoshop or Lightroom. I used to do it by burning and dodging with a Photoshop adjustment layer. It does wonders for emphasizing the main subject and driving the viewer's eye right to it. I do have Topaz but don't know if it has the same capability since I use it mostly for special effects.
